Title: Power operated selection mechanism
IPC: G06K17/00
Filed: 1963-03-20
Abstract: 1,036,622. Filing papers. SPERRY RAND CORPORATION. March 20, 1963 [March 30, 1962], No. 11137/63. Heading B6E. [Also in Division G5] A power-operated selection mechanism (Fig. 1, not shown) enables any one or any pair of adjacent element(s) (25) (e.g. cards bearing written matter), arranged in a series, to be brought into a set position where they may be examined through a window (27) of a locked cabinet (28). Each frame (25) bearing information (23) is mounted edgewise on a vertical hinge pin (249) and in a groove 245 of a carrying assembly 213. Each assembly 213 has a front roller 219, rear roller (223), and pins 249 carry rollers 265 (Fig. 3, not shown) at their upper ends. Rear rollers (223) are held in a channel 235 tightly together, like the pages at the spine of a book, but rollers 219 may move between two extreme positions (shown in full), so that the " book " is open at the point where two adjacent carrying assemblies 213 are angularly separated, through a position (dotted lines), in which the " book " is closed. The " book " of frames (25) is biased to the " open " position by the rearward tilting of the series of frames (Fig. 3) and by a cover edge (673) (Fig. 2, not shown) biased by springs (671) and acting on rollers 219. Opening at a selected place is achieved by a cam 455. In operation, a knob (505) below the window (27) (Fig. 1) is moved laterally to the position opposite the frames required (indicated on a label (543) below the knob, Fig. 2), the cam 455 moving with the knob. The knob is pushed forward, which initiates an automatic power cycle and by means of solenoids (S1), S2 locks the knob against lateral movement. A motor 147 then turns cams (161), 171 (Fig. 2) which move plates 193 right and left respectively pushing rollers 219 together to "close" " the book of frames (25) (dotted lines, Fig. 5). As plates 193 separate again, a forward movement of cam 455 pushes a selected pair of rollers 219 apart, opening the " book " at the pre-selected place, the cover edge (673) assisting opening. The cycle completed, the motor 147 stops and the knob (505) is unlocked, the selected pair of frames (25) now being in the open position (Fig. 1). A lamp (711) is provided (Fig. 3).

Title: Hoppers for packing machine
IPC: A24C5/35
Filed: 1977-03-21
Abstract: 1524463 Dispensing articles; feeding cigarettes to an endless conveyer MOLINS Ltd 21 March 1977 [20 March 1976] 11325/76 Heading B8U and B8A A hopper comprises parallel vertical channels in each of which a single column of cigarettes is located, a pair of horizontal plates 4 being provided for engaging the ends of the lowest row of cigarettes while a plurality of parallel needlelike elements 5 is provided above each plate 4 for supporting the one but lowest row of cigarettes. The plates 4 are movable away from each other to release the lowest row of cigarettes which drops on to a conveyer belt 20 and downward movement of the cigarettes is assisted by means of air which is blasted through internal air passages (8), Fig. 4 (not shown), provided in the elements 5. When the plates 4 are returned to their original position the elements 5 are then retracted to permit the columns of cigarettes to drop by an amount equivalent to the diameter of one cigarette so that the lowest row of cigarettes is again supported by the plates 4, after which the elements 5 return to their original cigarette-supporting condition. The conveyer belt 20, Fig. 5, is provided with pivotally-mounted U-frames 22 from which pillars 26 project upwardly through apertures in the belt 20, the frames 22 being provided with rollers 28 which co-operate with a stationary cam track 27 to cause progressive upward movement of the pillars 26 to enable superimposed rows of cigarettes to be retained on the belt 20, as shown. In an alternative embodiment, Fig. 6 (not shown), the bottom of the hopper is curved to conform with a rotary drum (34) having successive groups of longitudinally extending flutes (35) formed at its periphery, each such group receiving the lowermost row of cigarettes in the hopper when positioned below the hopper, the flutes of the group being connected by means of internal drum passages with a source of suction which creates an air-flow which helps to accelerate the cigarettes downwards towards the flutes. The cigarettes are transferred from the drum (34) to a conveyer belt (40).

Title: Butt-contact speed control trigger switch
IPC: G05F1/10
Filed: 1973-03-09
Abstract: 1417517 Mechanical switches; resistance motor controllers CUTLER-HAMMER INTERNATIONAL FINANCE Inc 9 March 1973 [10 March 1972] 11523/73 Headings H1N and HIS In a double-pole switch for use with an electric motor speed control system of the variable resistor type, an actuator 2, Fig. 1, slidable against a spring 52 on a base 4 comprises a pair of compartments, each one of which contains a moveable abutting contact 22, Fig. 1, or 26, Fig. 2, biased closed by springs 38, 42 and operable by cams 2c, 2d, 2e on the actuator 2 engaging corresponding projections 22c, 22d and 26c, 26d on the moveable contacts 22, 26. An optional latch for the actuator 2 is referred to. In the particular embodiment the moveable abutting contact 22 is held away from fixed contacts 18, 20 when the actuator 2 is in the unoperated position (shown) and engages fixed contact 20 only on initial movement of the actuator 2 when cam 2c slides off projection 22c. This completes a circuit through a central terminal 40 associated with a circuit of a variable resistor (10), Fig. 9 (not shown), of a thyristor speed control system. On further movement after maximum speed is obtained by thyristor control, cam 2e slides off abutment 22d whereby fixed contact 18 is engaged to short circuit the resistor (10) to obtain full speed. On further movement of the actuator a leaf spring 50 within a recess 2f of the actuator engages the abutment 22c to move the contact 22 endwise for the purpose of contact cleaning. The fixed abutment contacts 18, 20 are retained in position between abutments Ld, Lj or Le, Lk by spring blades 30, 32 clipped in recesses L and acting as retainers for wire connector ends (not shown) inserted between the terminals 18, 20 and blades 30, 32. The movable contact 26, Fig. 2 for the second pole remains in permanent engagement with a fixed terminal connector 28 and is moved by cam 2d on the actuator 2 whereby it closes before the contacts 20, 22 of the first pole are closed and reopens after so that no arcing occurs at the contacts 26, 28. Variable resistor speed control (Fig. 3).-The actuator 2 is recessed to carry a spring blade slider 12 having four spring arms, two of which are engageable with a variable resistor unit 10 and two of which are engageable with a bus-bar 8b of a heat sink 8 to which the thyristor control unit 46 is mounted.

A milling machine comprises a spindle head 10 to which is mounted a pair of spaced tracks 11, (12) (Fig. 5, not shown), around which a chain 30 is moved to present tools T at a work station opposite a workpiece W. Each track 11, (12) is split into a fixed lower half and a movable upper half which is spring biased by springs 20 to tension the chain 30. The chain is made up of tool holders 34 having fixed arms 35, 36 which are coupled together by a shaft 33 having rollers which engage the tracks. Each holder 34 includes a tool holding collet (38) rotatably mounted in bearings (37). The chain 30 is moved one increment at a time by an hydraulic cylinder assembly 40. In operation a required tool T 1  is brought opposite a workpiece W and a spindle in the spindle head 10 is lowered hydraulically to engage the collet (38) and to press the tool holder 34 against supporting surfaces (23), (24) (Fig. 5, not shown), which accurately locate the toolholder 34. The chain 30 is pulled away from the tracks slightly against the springs 20 to allow this. The spindle drive comprises an axially fixed sleeve (63) rotated by a bevel gear (65) through which is hydraulically moved a spindle shaft 72.

Abstract: 908,379. Traverse motions for spinning- machines. COURTAULDS Ltd. July 13, 1959 [April 14, 1958], No. 11729/58. Class 120 (2). In a textile spinning machine in which the reciprocation of the spindle, cap or ring is determined by an eccentrically mounted, continuously rotatable cam follower 5 urged against a rotatable cam 7, the follower 5 is arranged to be driven more slowly than, and out of phase with the cam 7. By " out of phase with " is meant that the angular position of the cam follower is always different at the beginning of any two consecutive rotations of the cam. By this means, a long period variation is introduced in the traverse motion so that each traverse of the bobbins relative to the ring or cap takes place over a slightly different length of the bobbin. Specifications 475,023 and 489,781 are referred to.
